She explained that she would walk from the village to the nearest town, barefoot, in order to busk for the masses. Her usual spot was at a taxi rank, where she would play her music and dance for some spare change.
The musician went on to share how she met Master KG further down her career. She attributed much of her success to him as he is the one who convinced her to keep performing and singing in her native Venda language.
Social media users were proud to see a South African featured on the international platform and super happy for Makhadzi to have reached that level. Taking to social media, many share their thoughts.

Meanwhile, Briefly News previously reported that Makhadzi has reportedly moved on from Master KG and is now in the arms of a wealthy businessman.
Several local publications have reported that Makhadzi is dating Zwivhuya Nelwamondo, the CEO at Lwams Africa. The man is more popularly known as Zwi Lwams.
Lwams Africa has been sponsoring several of Makhadzi’s recent gigs. In addition, the Venda artist and businessman have been snapped in the same areas all too often. Social media users did the maths and concluded that the pair are dating.
From all the pics that the couple are snapping, it seems Lwams is spoiling Khadzi just as she deserves.
However, given the scrutiny that her previous relationship with Master KG garnered, it’s understandable why the muso has chosen to keep this relationship on the low.
